Al Gore To Leave Apple Board After 21-Year Run; Company Reveals CEO Tim Cook’s Pay Dropped 36% In 2023 After Shareholder Pressure::Former Vice President Al Gore will exit Apple’s board of directors, the company said in an SEC filing that also revealed a pay drop for CEO Tim Cook.
TIL he was on the board.
It would be nice if the US government also had a rule prohibiting those 75 and older from running in elections.
I disagree. Ageism is morally wrong. (We should also remove the age floor from positions.)
That being said, an independently operated competency test for candidacy sure seems reasonable.
Ageism exists because people above a certain age cannot keep up to the demands of the job. I am sure a lot of folk disagree here… but you would agree that old people’s brains aren’t as fast as young people and even old people experience can only hinder them in a world thats all but changed completely.
This test you speak of is how mostly it works now, but only inverted: reject the vast majority of old people… and only hire the outliers.
